WTF: Feeling lonely? This virtual girl will smile at you for a small price

In super creepy news today, if you’re feeling a little bit lonely or unloved there’s now an iPhone app that will act as your own virtual friend and relentless stalker, so you don’t have to go out and have tiring real-life relationships or pay for affection from random strangers.

The app called Watching Cute Girl features a smiling woman who will look at you, take photos of you without warning and say one of 180 pre-recorded things an obsessive girlfriend would scream while smelling a lock of your hair and bathing in your aftershave, like “Good morning, I came to watch you” and “Good evening. Have you already eaten?”

According to Kotaku, the app has been created by a comedian, so we shouldn’t be taking it too seriously. Tell that to the 4,382,398 lonely guys who are staring at (or you know, other things) the Watching Cute Girl girl right now.

The app is available on iTunes in selected countries for ¥ 85, which is a small price to pay for a fake stalker, right?
